When Sandesh and I are talking with startups, they typically lack a critical piece in their path to success, someone to drive company culture and vision and to communicate that with both employees and customers.

Meta Verse
Not meta in the sense of self reference, and not a verse in the sense of epic, lyrical poetry.
Rather Meta in the sense of greater or transcendent and verse as in universe. However, since the metaverse exists within the known universe it logically can not be greater than that which contains it.
